Kenya’s economic momentum is gaining ground, with growth reaching 5.1% in the second quarter of 2026. From farms and factories to construction sites and digital enterprises, productive sectors are contributing to an economy built on production, enterprise and opportunity. Agriculture, forestry and fishing grew by 3.5%, construction expanded by 6.0%, and information and communication recorded 7.2% growth. These sectors reflect key areas of focus under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), which prioritises expanding production, supporting businesses and creating pathways to sustainable livelihoods. The progress is also reflected in production figures: tea output reached 162,600 metric tons, coffee exports totalled 22,046.4 metric tons, sugar production stood at 211,800 metric tons, and cement production reached 2.73 million metric tons. Meanwhile, transport and storage grew by 4.4%, supporting the movement of goods and connecting producers to markets. As Kenya advances its development agenda, agriculture, MSMEs, housing, healthcare, and the Digital Superhighway and Creative Economy remain important pillars for expanding economic participation. Sustaining this momentum will require continued investment in productive capacity, enterprise growth, infrastructure and job creation, ensuring economic progress translates into meaningful opportunities for more Kenyans.
